The whole speech was laced with anti-Obama sentiments, explicated most clearly when lambasting the President’s foreign policy:

Our Peace Prize-winning president is very busy bowing these days to kings. He is bending down to dictators, and he is brown-nosing the elites that are in Europe, and he’s babying the jihadists who are following Sharia-compliant terrorism. He is callow and confused and inconsistent in his response to the Egyptian crisis, and to the uprisings in Iran, and to the terrorist threats. And he’s accomplishing something nobody thought even possible: He’s making Jimmy Carter look like a Rambo tough-guy.

Bachmann has not said whether she will run for President or not, but she has been touring early battleground states such as Iowa and New Hampshire, in addition to South Carolina.

well,
i’m gonna go past all the substance and comment on the fashionista aspect of my “Representative”. i like the teapot gracing her charmed wrist, i like how the teabag has upended the GOP elephant (i’m a sucker for those subtle, unintended (?) touches) and the bat-highlighted crucifix is a must-have jesus accessory of the crazy season.

she is so fucking raven. as in lunatic.

PS: btw, nonnie, you prob. already know that, but when you post on Bachmann, i can’t help but feel you are speaking directly to me and my wife :).

there was a time, post-election that we were swamped with college applications and missed a couple of months worth. trying to catch up now :).

btw and fwiw, we’re signed up for a solidarity rally @ our State Capitol tomorrow in support of our cheesehead brethren (and sistren) across the boarder.

( i’m thinking with 16+ inches of fresh powder here in the Twin Cities, Madison plow operators could’ve buried the rethugs to play in their sandbox snow box for a long time. i would’ve, but these are obviously better men :)

i miss you when you’re not around, latte. i love having the local perspective, and you are our eyes on minnesota. i’ll be with you in spirit tomorrow. i wish i could actually be there, but i know that i’d freeze to death the minute the fresh air hit me.

South Carolina is a GOP paradise. Good stay there you freakin’ lunatic.

It reminds me that a famous SC jurist was asked in 1860 what he thought of the possibility of South Carolina’s succession from the Union. He replied that “South Carolina is too small to be a republic and too large to be an asylum.” With Batshit there, it may not be large enough.

i don’t think so either, but only because i think he’d rather be walking down the appalachian trail with the ex-guv. just listen to this guy and tell me it’s not just a matter of time before he’s arrested in a men’s room for tapping his foot.

Okay, let’s call a sin a sin: it’s a fucking sin you have a platform for spouting bigotry against gays. But then, the quickest way for you to be exposed along with your nutball spouse is to have you spouting Christian anti-homosexual insanity until every sane person in this country realizes the threat you are to freedom. The hypocrisy! It burns!

you don’t even need to be a stupid politician to get on right-wing hate radio. you just have to be married to one. it would be interesting to have this piece of shit on a show where they have an actual mental health expert to refudiate his bullshit. of course, he’ll never agree to that.

Newsflash, Madame Representative, I’m a union member and I know that nothing will get union members backs up faster than a threat to their benefits. The union I am in right now conceded a salary increase to keep their benefits. The union I was in first authorized a strike over a proposed reduction to their benefits. Fortunately, they didn’t strike and they reached an agreement.

i love how she singlehandedly sabotaged Tim Pawlenty’s presidential aspirations. The tragedy in Tucson stole the headlines during his book promo tour, then just as Gabby began making her miraculous recovery (further squeezing any mention of Tim from headlines of the very news shows he appeared on), Bachmann went to Iowa to meet with fellow batshits (and not just Rep. King) a week ahead of him to test the same rethug Presidential waters.

Then they both go to CPAC, where Bachmann is the marquee speaker, and Pawlenty is but an afterthought. They both end up at the bottom, 4 pts each.

In short, nonnie is dead on the money, the circus is always in town every time Bachmann opens her mouth or poses for a cameo. If she does run, i am making a sign for the next welcome: “WE <3 OUR MEDIA WHORE". i swear, it will be the biggest gift to MN CD-6 if she throws her hat into the ring and polls better: that way she won't be able to run for reelection here, while not standing a snowball's chance in hell for the White House. But we digress in our daydreaming.

i laughed my ass off when she upstaged timmeh. he’s has absolutely no personality or charisma whatsoever. wally cox or don knotts would have been too sexy to play him in a movie. it just goes to show you that there’s no sense of loyalty in the rethug party. i bet they all want to sit with their backs to the wall at meetings to prevent getting stabbed.

That radio excerpt was from the old radio show of Marlon Maddox, notorious east Texas know it all whos claim to fame was getting experts to come in and play rock records backwards and expose the devils influence. Marlons dead now and surely must dwell in some goper afterlife (can’t go to heaven because Jesus is a commie and a hippie). But the BB diatribe is most damning! All those horrible things he is doing to destroy the country. At least she didn’t call him a stupid cunt.

i googled his name and got ‘point of view.’ guess whose picture was there–frank gaffney! there seems to be a teabagger bubble in which the same people keep showing up. it’s a very small world they live in.

Maddox was such a promoter of right wing cranks that I almost sent a letter of complaint to the FCC about his thin veneer of religion (only for tax exempt puposes). My appologies for such crude language but that bitch pushes my buttons. I prefer more civilized tone with phrases like “sexual congress” or “used food”. Do you realize you said refudiate?

we can laugh all we want at the most insane asswipe in the House – but people VOTED for her. why dont we make our government the Marx Brothers moive and let Brad Pitt and James Franco run the place – oh and Michelle Pfeiffer
